What motorcycle(s) do you ride

Anyone titled a motorcycle without papers? FIL got it but never did title before he died. Mobile home flooded after his death and we lost most of the docs. Damn, my life dounds like a country song.

A title search will cost $2.20 at the DMV in Lakewood. If you can contact the previous owner, you may be able to get a duplicate title and have them sign it over. otherwise, you'll most likely have to do the bonded title route, which is tedious and time consuming, as well as moderately expensive.

Yeah search lost title/bonded title Colorado. I've done it once, but it's been a long long time ago in a Galaxy far away. IIRC you need insurance, an affiant (notarize something), a bill of sale or possibly a death certificate or some other evidence, a bonding company you can work with, then you buy a bond from them, then take it to the DMV, and pay your registration and get a title. Like a monthlong process that costs about 10% of the value, lol.

Also a 400 two-stroke is likely going to try to wheely when you really don't want it to... make sure you have VERY good instinct to let go of the throttle with any major issue, otherwise you'll be one of "those" people in a gif online. Basically cranking the throttle suddenly (like when you're falling off and hanging on for dear life) will guarantee to raise the front wheel and send you careening around on a unicycle if you're inexperienced. Even older 220/250s can do this. A 400 is Super-Mario 3.
